Adding Redi Type Library reference in Visual Studio 2013

I am waiting for my request to be a family member to be approved. I was given some word documents for installing Redi and using the API in C#.

As part of using the API in C#, I am stuck at one of the initial steps of adding the Redi Type Library reference.

In addition to trying to add it from the COM section shown in the screenshot above, I have tried directly adding the Redi.tlb file in Redi installation folder and also the Redi.tlb that had been given to me in one of the emails. The message I get for those is that it is not a valid assembly or COM component.

Hello @zoya faberov.

I followed up on the support thread on May 6th and today again. Got a reply that a session will be scheduled next week. So still waiting for the official solution for this issue.

Thanks.

Hi @zoya faberov

As mentioned in my previous replies, I did try adding the TLB file multiple times using "Add reference -> COM-> browse to .tlb file". The error is shown in the image from May 3.

I am using .NET framework 4.5.2. I have also tried changing it to .NET framework 4.5 and .NET framework 4.4 with no luck.

PS: For some reason was not able to reply to your message, hence reply to the main question thread.

@zoya faberov

Yes, have also tried "(is possible to just Add->Browse, not specifying COM)", which gives the same error.

Sounds good, will be using .NET framework 4.5.2 for now.

Regarding - "For now, would use dll from REDI Tech\Primary folder, so you can integrate and not be held up, while dll you point to will remain consistent with REDI updates in the future.";

Do you mean use "RediLib.dll"?

FYI, the current version I have installed on my system is 11.0.123.4040.

Hi @zoya faberov

No. The compilation warning is when I simply opened the project you provided and compiled. Your reference was NOT removed.

If I remove the reference and try to add again, I see the following error:

This is again the same as my message from "May 03 at 12:33 PM".

At this point, it feels like I am just going in circles trying to do the same thing over and over again, I feel that it would be really helpful to have a support call with screen sharing.

As seen in the screenshot redilib-reference.png, I have added a reference to RediLib.dll and the "DisplayRediL1Quotes" code from https://github.com/TR-API-Samples/Example.REDI.CSharp.Examples/blob/master/REDIConsoleL1/RediConsoleL1.cs compiles fine.

When I try to run the code, I get a class not registered exception while trying to create an instance of CacheControl(). Attached is a txt file with the exception. redi-exception.txt

RediPlus is running on the same PC and I have logged in to it.

Any help would be appreciated as this is a critical issue for us now.

@zoya faberov @Alex Putkov.1

Yes, REDIPlus is running and am logged in, on the same PC where I am trying to run the .NET console application. Please see the second last line of my June 4th message.

The error from the github sample code indicates that it is a general exception message for all exceptions of type COMException.

Also, I tried running the sample console app with direct reference to RediLib.dll in our production env., with the same REDIPlus user, and it seemed to work!

So will try re-installing REDIPlus on my local PC as it seems like an issue with the COM library registration.

Hi @zoya faberov

Thanks for checking.

Not yet, as Warren (trading support, Refinitiv) had asked for a time for a webex call with other members, I wanted to wait and troubleshoot this with them, assuming this is useful for the team.

I have a new machine and will try to install REDIPlus on it over the weekend.
